Book Description

China is at the crux of reforming, professionalising, and internationalising its cultural and creative industries. These industries are at the forefront of China’s move towards the status of a developed country. In this comprehensive Handbook, international experts including leading Mainland scholars examine the background to China’s cultural and creative industries as well as the challenges ahead.

The chapters represent the cutting-edge of scholarship, setting out the future directions of culture, creativity and innovation in China. Combining interdisciplinary approaches with contemporary social and economic theory, the contributors examine developments in art, cultural tourism, urbanism, digital media, e-commerce, fashion and architectural design, publishing, film, television, animation, documentary, music and festivals.

Students of Chinese culture and society will find this Handbook to be an invaluable resource. Scholars working on topics related to China’s emergence and its cultural aspirations will also find the themes discussed in this book to be of interest.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘Michael Keane has compiled an impressive collection of essays that offer the most up to date appraisal of the state of cultural and creative industries in China by both western and Chinese academics and commentators. A must read for anyone who is interested in keeping up with the ongoing transformation of China’s cultural and creative sphere.’ — Ying Zhu, Author of Two Billion Eyes: The Story of China Central Television

‘Local stakeholders ranging from government to corporate entities and individual operators have interacted to produce a distinctively Chinese way of doing and talking about cultural and creative industries. This rich collection of lucid essays steps up to the challenge, making it the perfect entry point for understanding the rhetoric and practices of this increasingly crucial sector of the Chinese economy.’ — Chris Berry, King’s College London, UK
